:rolleyes: [/b][/quote]I seriously thought about B. :rolleyes:

Ok, I didn't like my old name..so I made a new one...

Look, I Have My Own Clubhouse

:rolleyes:

Pitching Staffs for today:

PL Indians
LD Dodgers
JG D-backs
DB D-backs
UU Dodgers
OA D-backs
HH Yanks
BD D-backs
SC Phils
JJ Giants

Schilling was a popular pick today.

I'm so used to being in last place when I looked today I thought I had the Giants

So it appears that I am once again stuck with the damn Curse of Pork - I can only hope with the addition of DB - it may be neutralized.

8:15 am here and I really dont have anything to say. What, with a whopping 113 points for the week? :rolleyes: I'm speechless.... though not defeated.

With JG gaining on me with rapid speed, I do hope the Curse of Pork is alive and well today.

Congrats on your 8th place perch BDD...

*Not reported correctly by the game.

Curse of Pork, indeed, with my 160 pts this week -- look who's riding my coat tails this week, Buff!

Wow look who is feeling cocky today even without having Wood. Hey Buffy, appears Porky Pup has been gaining some ground - you better rally the troops over the weekend - or he is gonna be out of control if he squeezes his bacon butt into second place . Oh and then we'll have the joy of listening to PL and Pork Chop boast of being 1 & 2 - my ears are bleeding just thinking about it.

And regarding my semi-rise in the ranks this week - once I realized that PL was spending 45 minutes a day with this - I have committed myself to spending 46 minutes each day now. :p

And I signed up for an early copy of his upcoming book.

Man, it would have been nice to pick that Astros pitching staff. 40 points! At least I got something out of Ensberg and Patterson.

DAMN AZ BULLPEN!! 3 ER's in the last 2 innings - WTF?!! And Schill leaves a shutout due to injury... sigh... good thing for Buffy... :p dammit... :rolleyes:

Today's Pitchers...

PL 2637 Woody (extends lead to over 200 pts.)
LD 2432 LA (feels JG's hot breath on her neck)
JG 2420 LA (close enough to smell 2nd place)
DB 2353 Woody (Don't count him out, yet)
UU 2297 LA (Where are you, BigTone?)
OA 2183 LA (Busy picking olives, I guess)
HH 2134 Yankees (sore loser :p )
BD 2111 LA (trying to pass the non-players)
SC 2055 Woody (at least he has an excuse)
JJ 0044 Woody (OK debut for "Mr. Popularity")

So it's all Woody or the Dodgers. Not too much imagination today.

PL playing Woody???!! Whouda thunk it! Finally gave up on those Indians, huh?

Man, and 6 hrs to wait between PS's... And just great - Curse of Buffy and Bad Daddy today... :rolleyes:

200 pt lead -- oofah! I'm coming for you next, PL!

That is because of the Curse of Pork. With the curse going your PS does well - giving you a false sense of confidence and then rips your heart out in the 8th and 9th inning. I believe PL has an entire chapter dedicated on the Curse in his upcoming book - see how he has been avoiding it. I have been trying to avoid it also - I select Woody early in the day, but late last night I changed it thinking that Pork Rinds would have him also - guess I am thinking too much now. :p

Anyway JGeoff, with others in the mix I am hoping for a neutralizing effect and a nice 20+ point result. Looks like if Buffy doesn't pick up the pace, the burden will fall to you, young Skywalker, to force PL to change his ranking. Are you up to the challenge?

EDIT: Appears the White Sox and Clevland game has been cancelled.

Also can someone explain how a guy not even playing gets high game for the day . And this same guy actually extends a lead over me

I keep telling you...if I pick the pitching staff there is no curse. Seattle PS came up with 29 points that day. (May 22)

I've played (with my) Woody before. The only time I've taken the Indians is with C.C. pitching (or scheduled to pitch). His 20 points last nite did better than the high priced D.Backs or Dodgers.

So whatta you laughin' at? :p

Saturday

PL 2637 Woody (17) 48 2685
LD 2432 LA (33) 74 2506
JG 2420 LA (33) 50 2470
DB 2353 Woody (17) 45 2398
UU 2297 LA (33) 55 2352
OA 2183 LA (33) 46 2229
BD 2111 LA (33) 57 2168
HH 2134 Yankees (1) 12 2146
SC 2055 Woody (17) 50 2105
JJ 0044 Woody (17) 44 0088

Wow, Houston or Cubs would've been a great pick today! 16 innings, 1-0 Cubs...! 54 or 55 pts!

Yeah, man, today's 17 pts is a killer! I guess even you're not immune from the Bad Daddy Curse!

17 isn't that bad. It's not like minus 8 or something. I'd be happy with 17 every single day from my PS.

Plawrence gets a low 29 today.

I got 44, again.

Lets see, a guesstimation here but, if this pattern stays the same, I'll pass him by the year 2130!!

Cool. Glad you're happy with it. Gimme a few minutes to add up the estimates, from LA's 33 pts today :p

Hey JJ - as much as most of us would like to see PL get a low 29, last time I looked he was sitting with 46. Which is 2 points more than you so you might need to re-figure your guesstimation now

Doh! Ok, let's see here. Quick mental math. Yep. Double check. Okay.

Folks...I will NEVER pass Plawernce. You heard it here first, ladies and gentlemen.

Looks like my offense was too anemic today to overtake the Buff. Ahh well.

JJ - Look above for current stats, and after the last game is over I'll post the unofficial totals...

JJ - What you probably mean to say is you won't pass him this half. Next half he goes back to 0 with the rest of us.

That's what I'm waitin for - I'm just pacing myself now

Yeah. yeah, yeah.

When I win the second half too, that'll shut you all up.

JJ-- I hear Guinea Pig is going to start a "Math Lessons" thread for you. Meanwhile, go hang out on "Fried Penises"

Oh yeah! What's better than having your best friend tutor you?


Crap. I was just going to change my roster for tomorrow, when I noticed that I was a bit to late. Oh well, the season does really begin for me til after AllStar break

(This has been your daily dose of --The Excuse Hour)

Huh? What makes you think you're too late?? You have until midnight PT, which is 2 hrs away :rolleyes: Did you even look?? :p

Oh my fault. I was looking at stats.

This stuff is really confusing.
